‘Bravest person I know’: Father’s pride as Tumbler Ridge school shooting victim leaves hospital after 262 days

A 13-year-old girl who was critically wounded in the deadly February school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, Canada, has been released from hospital after 262 days, her father said Thursday. “There was never a day I stopped believing we would get here. The road ahead is still long, but this is a milestone no one thought we would reach,” David Gebala wrote in an emotional social media post addressed to his daughter Maya, calling her “the bravest person I know.” Maya was among more than two dozen people wounded in the mass shooting at a secondary school in the small mining town in northern British Columbia, which left eight people dead, including six children, in the country’s deadliest school shooting in decades.
